About podcast

Welcome to The Known Disciple Project Podcast, a show for believers ready to stop drifting and start living fully aligned with who God says they are. If you’re done with surface-level faith and want to grow in mindset, habits, discipline, and spiritual clarity, without separating your faith from your ambition; you’re in the right place. We don’t do shallow here. This is where Scripture meets strategy. Whether you’re leading a business, raising a family, or chasing a God-given vision; this is your space. This isn’t motivation. It’s spiritual formation.

Take Back Your Time and Energy (Before It Steals Your Spiritual Growth)

In this episode of The Known Disciple Project, Mark Hummel pulls back the curtain on one of the most common struggles among growth-minded disciples of Jesus: mental fatigue and chronic distraction. If you’ve ever said, “I want to grow, I just don’t have the bandwidth,” this one’s for you.

Mark confronts one of the most overlooked barriers to discipleship: mental fatigue and chronic distraction. If you’ve ever felt too tired, too busy, or too scattered to grow spiritually, you’re not lazy - you’re just spent.

In this episode, Mark shares his journey from content overload to focused disciple, offering biblical insight and practical tools to help you reclaim capacity. From time blocking and batching to Sabbath rest and true refueling, you’ll learn how to protect your energy, sharpen your focus, and build rhythms that support lasting transformation.

Key Takeaways:

  • Multitasking drains energy - focus creates impact.
  • Time blocking and batching restore hours of clarity.
  • True refueling goes beyond sleep—it renews the soul.
  • Solitude brings presence; isolation erodes it.
  • A Sabbath rhythm protects long-term spiritual growth.
